Do you miss life before the internet
 

I do somedays.. sigh..

no way...

I miss the old days of the internet :2 cents:

Talking about this at the weekend. Yes miss life before the Internet in loads of ways.

sometimes, but i voted no. I'm more free now.

Fapping to my imagination sucked :2 cents:

Sometimes, but sure makes things easier sometimes

Yeah same here... AOL chat rooms, they were awesome!

Internet no. Cell phones yes.

:2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents:

Hate mobile phones - motherfuckers can reach you everywhere and if you do not answer after .0001seconds, they post on fuckbook and every other damn place :mad:

Not really :pimp

yes I do

noooooo!

The constant texting and checking by some drives me crazy. I also don't like the feeling of accountability that comes with a cell phone. People expect your immediate attention for the smallest things.

I only miss it in a certain nostalgic sense that I was young and I used to spend time living life at a slower pace doing things like sitting on the driveway and talking for hours with my late grandparents. That's not to say that I would want to go back to that lifestyle in today's world as a busy grown man doing something he loves. I am enamored with technology and (nearly) everything it brings.

Not really. Everything took longer and more energy.

yep i can order things and send things :) postage printed online no need to drive :) no more standing at blockbuster for new releases

i would be happy to be without a smart phone, too addicting

Saved money and made money by having the internet.

Bulletin boards were around in days of apple 2c and commodore 64 i was about 12 when i had my c64. the real internet felt like just evolution from that.

social media, email and cell phones yes, i wish theyd all fuck off and let me have my free time back - internet, love it!

No ... I prefer life now with the internet. Pre-Internet: Life was kinda bland.

You can instantly look up new music, weather, news, etc. All the content that I want to see for my life is there at my fingertips on really almost anything I desire to check out.

Being able to travel, bank and perform whatever tasks via smartphone/iPad/laptop is key.

Biggest plus: I have made my fortune in IT + Telecommunications while working from anywhere on the planet. So, the internet for me where its at.

I agree... I do not want to miss internet... but leaving my house without phone is sometimes just awesome

and I can do without social media btw... would not miss it for one sec

my phone is off when i sleep, i dont switch it on for the first 2-3 hours after getting up and on weekends it sometimes stays off completely.

Can't imagine living without internet anymore.. But that's because it is my source of income.. Having no internet for more than 48 hours makes me go crazy!

But I do miss the pre-internet era.. where you would dialup to some BBS and wait for nearly a minute to see some 80's porn pic downloaded at 14.4kbps speed.. :D

This is one thing that annoys me. I have some people that will just call repeatedly and send emails expecting you to reply in seconds.

The days of people leaving voicemails are pretty much over,
Now it's just endless bugging.
